Stop Dancing in the Gaslight

Is your love life a series of ups and downs?

Are you walking on eggshells?

Are you nervous and jumpy all the time?

Are you doubting your own memory?

Are you afraid to make decisions in your private life even if you have a powerful career?

Gaslighting is a form of mental abuse that some types of people (narcissists, psychopaths, sociopaths) use to manipulate others.

The victim of gaslighting may feel like he or she is slowly going crazy with paranoia and forgetfulness.

The gaslighter delights in confusing the victim. Sometimes he or she is covering up affairs, gambling, drugs, rapes, serial killing, and other secretive activities.

Did you used to be a happy, compassionate person but now your angry and frustrated all the time?

Do you yearn for the "early days" of your relationship when everything was picture perfect?

Do you wonder how your relationship crumbled so quickly and WHY?

You may be dancing in the gaslight and not even know it.

Everyone is guilty of gaslighting other people in minor ways, and media certainly gaslights everyone. The gaslighting discussed in Dancing in the Gaslight is focused on abusive romantic relationships.
